Not necessarily. I am alluding to a specific policy that the NYT adopted that said only negative stories about the tech industry would be run. Some NYT writers like Matt Yglesias have confirmed this policy and the knock-on affect at other publications.
Amazon and Google and Apple all still have extremely high public perception of their brands, despite only receiving negative national press, so it's hard to pin this as a reason that people wouldn't want to work at these places. But I think it's contributed to places like Google transitioning from being open and publicly glowing places to work, to circle their wagons and becoming more private and cagey with their employees.
The weight of real world evidence is that no such policy ever existed, and the NYT is infamous for publishing a number of extremely pro-tech puff pieces for the last decade, at least, including the ones on Bankman-Fried and the Neumann. And the Vision Pro.
Hell, right now the NYT Technology page is full of puff pieces entirely uncritical of tech, despite the massive layoffs and ethical issues of AI.
And the only sources for the supposed policy are two "journalists" who have never actually worked for the NYT.

You're seriously making the contention that Apple, in the US, has only received 'negative national press' ???
